This place was delicious ... Chef Chris and Chef Jin were so hospitable and friendly. All the sushi pieces were well prepared for the price point. The rice to fish ratio was great as well. We chose a variety of fish from salmon, salmon belly, yellowtail belly, toro, etc. and a couple pieces of the A5 wagyu. I don't care for the wagyu, but I will definitely be back! read more

This spot has become our favorite go to sushi spot in OC. Every piece on nigiri melts in your mouth. The staff is great. Our waiter was friendly, helpful and attentive. This place is quickly becoming a weekly tradition. Must try for sushi lovers. read more

Our favorite sushi spot! The guys there are great and Jennifer last night was incredible! See you soon!

The quality of the nigiri is unmatched! Like other Yelpers have stated, once they've run out of their daily supply, they are out for the day. I sadly missed out on trying their toro bowl yesterday but the disappointment was quickly forgotten because everything else was beyond delicious. I love that their rice is seasoned perfectly and the yuzu(?) on their salmon is perfect. read more

This place is my go-to sushi spot. I've been coming here for like 3+ years now and even though it's super simple and not flashy, the sushi is always really fresh and solid. It's not one of those trendy places, but I actually prefer it that way. The rolls are fun and there's always something I end up ordering again. I have way too many pictures from here at this point because I keep going back. It's just one of those comfort spots for me!!! read more

I called ahead to check on availability before heading over, and everything seemed fine. We arrived about 15 minutes later, around 7:45 PM, only to be told they were already closed. This was strange because every source I checked listed their closing time as 8:30 PM. Not a great experience if hours have changed, it would help to update them everywhere, or at least mention it on the phone. It happened 14 of September2026 read more

Dining while out of my home area this place dis not disappoint! Great food, I'd give it $$$ not $$ but the food was great service thoughtful and prompt so I have no issue paying more. For the diabetics I would have liked to see a non family sashimi plate on the menu. Something in the 13-15 price range with an included soup n salad for around 35-45$. I made do with the family plate and two extra no rice cucumber Philly rolls. Left happy and full. Will come back next year when I'm down for the expo and bring my family! Thank you guys great dinner and thank you for allowing me to get it a way that was as low carb to carb free as possible!!! Cheers! read more

AMAZING food, ambiance, and even better service. A must-try in Costa Mesa. There are like 4-5 sushi spots in the area but this is hands down my favorite. If you go - definitely try the Toro! read more

If you live in the Costa Mesa, Newport area Sushi District has to become your go to sushi spot. The quality of fish is pronominal, unlike anything you can get elsewhere. Nobu Who??? Value is so good. They could charge me twice as much and I'd keep coming back for more. Staff is so friendly, and always on top of what you need. Try Sushi District and I promise it will not disappoint. read more

Fresh fish, uni was great. Sushi rice was heavily vinegar flavor with overcooked rice very mushy. Servers are all old rude Korean speaking women who don't know how to serve just kinda bark at each other and try to translate to each other what you're saying in English. The 50 percent off is in reality because you're buying 1 piece of nigiri vs 2. The udon was had some spongy tofu that tasted like it was out for too long like dusty tasting. I'd rather pay full price at a real sushi bar. It's kind of like a Korean American sushi bar trying to larp as a traditional Japanese sushi bar tbh. read more

We are a Family of 4 from San Diego. My son got hungry went to Sushi District. We ordered a lot see photos. The food was awesome. Price inexpensive.The Uni and ikura were the best tasting.The spicy Salmon roll was good too but the rice was falling apart. The chef gave us a complimentary sashimi (see photo) that was good too. We want to comeback there again to try other food on the menu and eat more Uni :) read more

We got takeout from here tonight and it was great! We ordered a bento box with chicken katsu, gyoza and chicken teriyaki, plus an order of Ave of Star sushi roll and salmon avocado roll. The prices were reasonable and the food was ready on time. I really liked that the bento box options included multiple servings of protein, so you could make it a hearty meal. The sushi itself tasted fresh and was on par with other sushi places I've gotten takeout from. read more

Nice place, like the menu. They are fast serving and good tasting sushi. I really like their bento box which has a choice of three items and It did not disappoint read more

I've come here twice and both times Jay was our server. He's friendly and attentive. When we needed extra ginger, he brought it quickly! The items are reasonably priced but stop by for their HH Tues-Sat 2-5:30pm for some cheaper appetizers and cut rolls! We enjoyed the CA roll, Spicy Salmon and Spicy Yellowtail rolls that were on HH and then added the Ave of Star Roll. I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

Sushi District - Spicy Yellowtail Roll (8pcs) Spicy Salmon Roll (8pcs) Sesame Seeds Ave of Star Roll (8pcs) California Roll (8pcs) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Wanted decent sushi that was not overly priced for the evening and ended up here via Yelp. All tables were taken for dinner so had to wait about ten minutes for a table. You put your name on a clipboard that's hanging on the door. Korean owned sushi joint. They also offer Korean food such as bulgolgi etc. They have happy hour Tuesday to Saturday 2-530 pm, probably a packed house at this time, not sure. My water tasted very odd so I couldn't drink it. Comes in a metal cup with ice. Not sure if it was the ice that tasted funky or what but I couldn't stand the taste. They offer many varieties on their menu. Tried a bunch of rolls and their 3 item combo set which comes with salad and miso soup. The rice in the bento box was cold and hard. I've never eaten rice like that before. Overall it did the trick and glad we stopped by. read more

The food is fresh the service is amazing Jennifer was our host she was able to accommodate us with a busy hour I do recommend to coming here if you are in the area I will definitely come here again read more

Was invited here by a friend and it was great! Jay was also a wonderful server. I was able to also have my wonderful dog on the patio. read more

Incredible quality for the price. I almost didn't want to write the review because it's so good, but I want this place to succeed. My family has been here before, but it's been 2 plus years and decided to give it another shot due to word of mouth and a lot of other places being closed on Labor Day. And so glad we did. We were seated immediately, but service was laggy at first. This was noticed and remedied. And then the sushi. We are nigiri people, and prefer traditional style where it is served as it is intended to be eaten. And wow. The toro was tender and flavorful. The uni was fresh. The goldeneye snapper topped with caviar was a special and was smoky, salty and rich. Absolutely incredible. And every nigiri had fresh wasabi. They were out of a couple items (salmon belly, ikura, sweet shrimp) and I appreciate that, because I would rather be told no than have a bad bite. We all know those places that always have everything, and it's not for a good reason. Sushi District has a new chef and has leveled up. For those who like Shunka, Nana San, San Shi Go, and similar, give this place a try. You will not be disappointed! I am looking forward to what they do next! read more

Super fresh delicious sushi. Fun friendly service. Sushi Chef Masters, Chris, Kevin, and server Jay are outstanding and make you feel like family. If you love Sushi this fish Haven is a must. read more

Food was great and the service was amazing. The owner/manager was super friendly and spent a lot of time talking to me since I was dining on my own. Will definitely return here when I'm in the area and recommend everyone in the area to check out Sushi District. read more

Sushi District is a true find! My girlfriend and I stumbled into this restaurant because we were in the center nearby and were starting to get pretty hungry. The quality of the sushi, the sake, the beer, the wait staff and sushi chefs will make up for the 5-Stars I'm giving today. The sushi was incredibly fresh. We ordered hamachi, tuna, salmon, albacore, masago and ikura niguri... and we had some toro sashimi... wow, SO GOOD... Thank you, Sushi Chefs! ... and the cooked food was just as good as the sushi. We had the lobster roll that was beyond tasty! And the yellowtail collar was so delicious. I can't believe we had forgotten to take pictures! The food was as good as the fancy overrated sushi spots. The people working at Sushi District were hospitable and helpful; so professional and nice! I can't believe the bang for the buck here as well; these prices are so reasonable, and the food is top-notch! I will be back again very soon! What a great find! read more

One of my fave lil sushi spots. A really robust and authentic menu reasonably priced. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Sushi is always very good! However, sometimes I feel it is a bit expensive (the specialty rolls). Happy hour is great if you love sashimi Staff is always friendly and service is very quick. Very small dining room room, but perfect for date night! read more

Sushi district is great! Great employees, great customer service, great rolls, and great prices. I would highly recommend to anyone

Delicious! Sat at the sushi bar with my son and had a fun evening, great sushi and excellent service! The place is cute and nice, small so get there early! We will def be back! read more

Been here for dinner for two times in total( one on last month and one time today). The workers here are smoking at the patio this doesnt help me to feel like the nice food environment. Moreover last time the chefs here have so much bad attitude.( both to customers and some workers who were there.)As a result I have to leave the tips good because i genuinely feel bad for that one guy who was serving me and my friend. Overall, food is okay but they need to work more on customer service and makes the patio cleaner. read more

We went there for lunch today after taking our chances and Googling sushi near me. We were not disappointed! We got seated right away and the food came out quickly too. It was a cute little restaurant. I got the Green Monster roll, and my son just got a California roll and an avocado roll. If we find ourselves in the area again we will definitely go back. read more

This is a great little place . We went for happy hour but discovered they don't have it anymore but they did have sushi items 20% off . So we got some rolls and everything was just delicious and so fresh. Very generous size wise. Since this was our 1st time there we tried a little of everything. My favorite was the California tempura roll...heaven. They had lots of choices of fish . I had a mobility cart and even though it was a small place I had plenty of room.They also had outdoor seating. The staff was so nice and we will be returning soon. read more

Absolutely amazing!! This is the hidden gem you've been looking for. The sushi will knock your socks off and the service will make it your new weekly favorite. I will not being going anywhere else for my sushi. I have found the top of mountain. read more

EXCELLENT sushi experience! Everything was VERY reasonably priced - 50% less than we have paid for markedly inferior meals. Fish was incredibly fresh and delicious, and we really liked the rice preparation as well. Cannot recommend highly enough as an OC sushi spot. read more

I ordered pick up via phone. Pickup was very prompt and quick. I ordered the sushi combination B with Ya Ya roll ($29.95). Fish was fresh and the rice was pretty good. Absolutely loved the Ya Ya roll! Spicy with delicious yellowtail. The miso soup and salad were adequate. One thing they forgot to pack was the ginger and wasabi though which was disappointing but overall the meal was delicious. read more

Located in a small strip mall that is also occupied by Chixy Natural and Banzai Bowls, this vibrant sushi spot serves a great variety of Japanese food and drinks. The staff is very helpful with the menu and they serve up the food fast and efficiently. My recommendations include shrimp tempura, Jessica Alba roll, garlic edamame and the salmon sashimi. Although all the other menu items are quite good, as well. I think I will eventually try everything on their menu. I highly recommend sitting at the bar, as well. You get the opportunity to interact with the sushi chefs, which makes for a more personalized experience. Overall, I'm never disappointed when I dine here and it's my go to when I'm in the neighborhood for great sushi and Japanese food. Happy Eats! read more
